American company makes $2.8m payroll blunder

Ouch. It is reported that one US company has learned the hard way that Payroll management is often better off outsourced and automated. In this case the article says a manual payroll system has resulted in a single staff member being responsible for releasing the funds of all 1,400 employees – during the busiest shopping period of the year. Sadly, the sole person responsible for this transaction was out of office and failed to make backup arrangements.

For families and young people, the holiday season can be one of the most financially stressful times of the year. Many people don’t just rely on timely wages – they depend on them to make it through to the New Year and fund their Christmas activities. Something as simple as a single Payroll blunder can cause emotional angst for people living week-to-week.
